She knew when the question was coming' by the w:y he inflated himself and got red in tlie face. There was no one near, but lie gate a wild look to the right ami kit, and then burst out with such suddenness that it made her think of a life-preserrer punctured with a knife: "Jfiss Putney !

"Of course I do," answered Slisa Putney. "I wouldn't raiss it f or anything." At half-pit 1 the next afternoon, Siotiel drove up to the grata and tied Ms iiorsa. It" xrzn a treather-beatea-IfHjkisg animal, with a very smctimonious expression of countenance, and emphalia ribs, and reminded most people of that peculiar country character, the seedy clergy m m retired from active duty on account of a trouble in his throat. "I hope I can raannidge these old liommels o' miiie. to-day," said Samuel, looking with eorao ditgust at Ms feet, incased in. a psir of ehining new shoes. "I vum, I do git sd riled up, with 'em kitchin' under everything, an' comia' bo nigh trip pin' me up. That left one does pinch awful. Wish, now, I'd wore my 'tother ones, if they hain't bo nice." lie came in and eat down to wait for Miss Putney. When he heard her coming ha began to inflate. lie got pretty well under way by the time she reached the parlor, and was respectably red in the face. " Good afternoon," he exploded, rising to mako an impressive bow. His foot had slipped under a chair, and as he rose it tumbled over. " Gol-durn them feet," said Samuel, soC'o voce. Then, aloud : Afi..s Putney, air you ready? If yon be, we'll he startin. I s'pect I'ra got to git back time ennff to do the chores." Miss Putney signified her readiness, and he led the way to the buggy. He helped her in, with some difficulty, and succeeded in tipping the seat over in doing it. Iu climbing into the vehicle to adjust it, he caught his toe n the edge of the box, and fell across the buggy, unable to save' himself, as there was nothing to catch hold of. " Plague take them old feet o' mine;" burst out poor Samuel, easting a withering glance on the offending members, as he pi elk ed himself up. "They're alters gittin' in the way." ?diss Putney made no reply, because she coiildiit. Samuel arranged tho seat, and she sat down. He picked up the reins, and clucked to the old horse : "Git up, Bill. G'lang!" But Bill wouldn't budge. "Iguesa you've 'forgotten to untie him," suggested Miss Putney. " Gosh ! that's so 1" cried Samuel. In getting out of the buggy, he caught bia toe on the bos, the same as when he got in, and came near taking a tumble. When he got in next time he lifted his feet over the box carefully, and with a grave deliberation that was very trying to Miss Putney, who was endeavoring to preserve a dignified and sober appearance. ' Old Bill evidently had his own ideas about the gait a respectable horse would naturally adopt under the circumstances. Samuel differed with him, and " laid on the string" with a grand flourish, in consequence of which the animal changed suddenly from an amble into a furious trot, jerking Miss Putney's head almost ol her shoulders. "Who' up, Bill, that's a leetle too fast," said Samuel, sawing on the bits. " Who' up, there; stiddy I " Old Bill finally fell into the required trot, and Samuel proceeded to make himself agreeable. Miss Putney couldn't keep from laughing for two consecutive minutes, and her attendant concluded she was enjoying herself, and was happy. By-and-by he began to subside into silence, and she noticed that he kept shifting hia left foot about as if he" didn't know what to do with it. "By h key ! but that air shoe does pinch the alliiredest ! " finally burst out Samuel. "I'll hev to pull it off, I guess, an let my foot rest a spelL" And pull it off he did. - - They drove some four or five mihis, : ua then Shncl tu:-ed EUi's h-.al to-wrllc- :.

The sun got lower, and -they gat there and 'waited for the "moving cf the waters. " The lndicrousness of the situation kept Miss Putney in the best cf humor. At any rate, she laughed two-thirds of the time, and Samuel argued that she wouldn't laugh if she didn't feel well. All at once old Bill started. Away he went with a wild dash that jerked Miss Putney's hat off before she could grab it. Samuel sawed on the bit 3 and yelled, " Who' up, Bill, dura ye ; who' up, I say !" with an energy that was pleasant to hear, but Bill wouldn't listen to reason. On he went, over stones and bad places, at a furious gallop. The wagon threatened to upset. Samuel's shoe jumped out, and was seen no more that night. Past houses, and barns, and haystack-B they eped, in a moderu sort cf a John Gilpin ride, Samuel expostulating with Bill all the while, but to no account. All at once the terrible old horse stopped. Miss Putney had never thought anything under such lively motion could stop as suddenly and completely as he did. She hardly realized it until she "brought up" with a mighty bounce in the bottom of the buggy, and saw Samuel hanging over the dashboard, in a general state of limpness. " Buther sudden, seems ef !" said he, as soon as he could catch his breath. " We'll hev to walk now. He never'll go another step with the buggy hitched to him. It's alius this Tray. We've larnt him." He dismounted and helped her out. "Durned unlucky 'bout my shoe !" remarked Samuel. " I'll bet a cent I'll never see it ag'in. Cost twenty shillin's, too." He unhitched Bill, and that old veteran stepped off as demurely as if such ideas as balking and running away had never dawned upon him. Miss Putney, couldn't help luaghing at their appearance. Samuel went ahead driving Bill, picturesquely arrayed in one shoe. She followed, bareheaded. She didn't wonder Mrs. Torry and the rest of the family were somewhat astonished when they came up. " If it hadn't been for old Bill dura his picter we'd a had'a'purty fair time," said Samuel, at the gate. " Good evenin, 'Miss rutney." - ...: "Oh, I never Mad so good a time in all my life before," answered she. " Good evening, Samuel," and then he went on with Bill, and she sat down on the step and laughed till she cried. Shiocton, Wis. sir j? xxjiir ujeu & usix-ss. When Collins went home to dinner Monday he found the house tenantless, the cook-stove cold, and there was a lonesome look about part of the Monday washing still left in the tubs in the sum-raer-kitehen. Hurrying through to the back-yard ho saw his wife braced against the. fence, holding to the end' of a broken clothes-line to keep the newly-washed garments from the ground. " You've got here at last, have you?" exclaimed the wife as she caught eight of him. "Yes, I'm here what's the matter ?" he repeated. "Here I've been holding this broken line for over an hour over a full hour, sir I" she snapped.

ZJZAn Adventure Africa. Returning rather lata one dark night to our encampment, I ' was suddenly startled by Bounds of the most painful description, not utJifce the stiffed groanings of a person v. ho is on the point of drowning. It at c ,;e struck me that the lions had surrounded some unfortunate native whilst lying in ambush near the water for wild animals that came there to drink. . Whilst . listening ia anxious suspense to tho wailings in question which gradually bfeiae'w&e' fcrtd more faint there reached mo from another' quarter a confused sound of human voices and hurried footsteps. This only tended to confirm my first impression, but from the impenetrable darkness I could not ascertain anything with certainty. Being unable, however, to endure the suspense any longer, and regardless of the danger to which I exposed myself, I caught up my fowlingpiece, which happened to be loaded with ball, and set out in the direction whence the wailing now fast dying away proceeded. I had not gone very far, however, before I fell in with a number of the natives, who were hastening in the same direction as myself. My road, for tho most part, lay through a dense tamarisk coppice, and it was surprising to me how I ever managed to thread the labyrinth. The hope of saving human life, however, enabled me to overcome : 11 obstacles. I might have been three or four minutes in the brake, when, on coming to a small opening, I suddenly encountered, and all but stumbled over, a large black mass lying at my feet; whilst, close to my ear, I heard the twang of a bow-string and the whizzing of an arrow. At the same moment, and within a very few paces of where I stood, I was startled by the terrific roar of a lion, which seemed to shake the ground beneath me. This was immediately followed by a savage and exulting cry of triumph from a number of the natives. Having recovered from my surprise, I found that the dark object that had nearly upset me was one of the natives stooping ever a dead zebra, which the lion had just killed, j id then learned, for the first time, to my great astonishment as well as relief, that the wailings which had caused me so much uneasiness, and which I imagined were those of a dying man, proceeded from this poor animal. The design of the natives, who from the first, I take it. well knew what they were about, was simply to possess themselves of the zebra, in which they had fully succeeded. Whilst some busied themselves in lighting a fire, the rest joined in a sort of war-daneo around the carcass, accompanied by the most wild and fantastic gestures, totally disregarding the proximity of the lion, which had only retreated a few paces. As the fire began to blase, indeed, we could distinctly sea him pacing to and fro among the bushes on the edge of the river's bank. He, moreover, forcibly reminded us of his pre senee by lacerating a small dog belonging to one of the party, which had incautiously approached him too closely. By a slight touch of his murderous paw he ripped up its body from head to foot; but, notwithstanding its entrails dragged on the ground, the poor creature managed to crawl to our fire, where it breathed its last in the course of a few seconds. It was a most touching sight to see the faithful animal wagging it3 tail in recognition of its master, who was trying to replace the intestines and to stop the flow of blood. The savage features of the natives, which received an unnaturally wild character as the glare of the half-blazing fire fell upon them ; the dying dog, with his wild master stooping despondisgly over him; the mutilated carcass of the zebra, and the presence cf the lion within a fow paces cf us, prr.'cntcd on? cf the meet striking s-'encs i; rs.3 tvermy Liibv,.n.e to v.iin: Hrpi'Cilr 7 every r.?:r ert fh..t the 1'cn would make a caih ft n?, I stood rreX arcd to rr:-.ive him.

Eat it is not always that the attempt to deprive the lion of his prey succeeds a3 well as in the instance jast mentioned. Generally speaking, indeed, if he be famishing with hunger, he turns upon his assailants, and many a man has thus lost his life. One often meets with individuals either mutilated, cr bearing dreadful scars, the result of wounds received in such encounters.

now ,fi?r sui:n u is uaik. . Jim Wicker was a comical-looking fel-lc7,-, with a very young face; but, by reason of having no hair, he looked very old from the eyebrows all the way round to the back of the neck. He was very sensitive- about' this defect,- and was somewhat celebrated, from a fight he had with a traveling agriculturist who, upon being asked by Jim what would cause the hair to grow upon his shining poll, was advised to cover the top of his head with guano, and plant it down in crab grass. But Jim wouldn't quarrel with Capt. Wild, for that gentleman was not only the host of the Fairy Queen, but also had the key to all "the refreshments" in his possession ; so, without hesitation, he enlightened his auditory after this fashion : " You see the bar always did grow rather scarce 'bout my scalp, and I was always rubbing one thing or another to fetch it out, for I was sartih the roots wasn't dead, though thar was little to be seen above ground. I'd heard of bear's grease, and bought a gallon in bottles ; but I believe it was nothing but hog's lard and mutton taller; so I thought I would have the genuine article, and T got old Dan to go out and kill something for my especial benefit. Dun told me it was spring, and that the bear was in bad health, and out of season ; but I believed he was trying to quiz me, and I wouldn't take no for an answer. "A short hunt forced a critter at bay, and Dan, by a shot in the vitals, saved the varmint ; but the bear was in a bad condition, for he looked as seedy as an old Canadian thistle, and he had hardly enough ile in him to keep his joints from squeaking ; but what he did have I got and used and, gentlemen," said Jim, looking sorrowfully around on the company, " in two days what little har I had commenced falling off, and in a week I was as bald as a gun-barrel. Dan was right. The varmint was shedding himself and had nothing in him but harshedding ile, and the consequence is, I can't in the dark tell my head from a dried gourd, if I depend on feeling." IiITTZiE THINGS. Life and death, prosperity and ruin, hang upon little things. . . .. They are like the linch-pin to the wheel, on which depends the safety of the vehicle; they are like the rudder to the vast ship which it guides ; like the slender nerves to the bulky muscles. They make up our lives. The selfexperience of every man will prove thi3 to him. A single word will blast a reputation a modulation of tone will convey a ruinous insinuation a passing fancy will determine the occupation of a life. Every man who has risen to greatness has done so by attention to small things. Large and powerful efforts are often needed, but they are only required occasionally; but the most po-veiful struggles will fail, if the way to them be not paved by attention to email things ; and their efforts will be lost if little things are not made to follow and aid thera in their proper order. This cannot be otherwise, for great things are only a series of little ones, so closely compacted ; . together that they take the appearance of, and, indeed, become a whole, just as the hour is made up of minutes, and the dollars of cents. You remember Ben Franklin's maxim, " Take care of the cents, and the dollars will take care cf themselves." This may be applied to everything in love, f. s ic, m.-drhL. zjt and ell da of money.

NUMBER -4o.

THE PE21ALE WITNESS. From tho Mew YorV Sun. John Sherman was almost hopelessly damaged when he appeared to testify in his own behalf as to the guarantee which he hail given to Weber and Anderson on the 20th of November, 1870. Before the investigation was ordered, he repeatedly and to different responsible persons authorized an emphatic and unqualified denial of ever having' written any suck letter, and denounced any letter of that purport, bearing his name, as an absolute forgery. When confronted with a copy of ttse 'titer, and dreading the production of the original or of a fas si-mile, he Hesitated, dared not deny, and admitted there were parts of tho letter he would have written. The verdict of the country was that he was an unanswerable witness sg.nnst himself, and that he had written the letter. Not content with that exposure, he and his counsel, in their desperate dilemma, have again invited the same crushing judgment. They have produced a female witness, who claims to be a Republican politician, accustomed to all the corrupt practices known in Louisiana. Sharp, unscrupulous, and audacious, this woman is Agnes D. Jenks, wife of Thomas II. Jenks. Both she and her husband were the intimate friends of James E.'- Anderson, until their prejudices were conquered and they were converted into his enemies and friends of John Sherman. For months past it baa been known that the Jenks woman was not only to be silenced, but to become an active partisan of John Sherman. After the failure of Anderson to provide for her husband she visited Washington, last January, on her own account, though at the suggestion of Kellogg, and it is supposed then made terms with the fraudulent Secretary of the Treasury. Now she appears as a witness, swearing that she dictated the Sherman letter in parlor P of the St. Charles Hotel, filled with "visiting statesmen" and other prominent persons, not one of whom can be named; that she had no motive for that act but the honor of the party, and that she delivered this letter with the signature of John Sherman forged to it, toD. A. Weber. This is her story, after more than a week of constant coaching by Sherman's lawyers, with a retentive memory to uold their instructions, and with quick resources of her own for sudden emergencies of swearing. The man Jenks r.nd the woman Jenks both swore vigorously that, in their correspondence with Anderson and .with other persons, they had no knowledge whatever that the Sherman letter was referred to previous to the 6th of last January. They were told, of course, to fix that date, and, as the sequel will snow, it convicts them both. It was always some "document" or "other letter," according to the female Jenks. ' Now for ihe proof. First o' all, it i3 well to re produce the letter ju question, which is the pivot ia all this controversy: New Oeleaks. Nov. 20, 1876. Messrs. J3. A.. Weber and Jas. E. Anderson : Gentlemen Your note of even date has jast been received. Neither Mr. naves, rny-t-elf, the gentletneu who accompany in?, or ihe country at large, can ever forget the obligation under which, you will bav placed ns should you stand firm ia the position you' have taken. From a long and intimate acquaintance with Mr. Hayes I am justified in assuming responsibility for promises made, and will guarantee that you shall be provided for a.8 ftoon after the 4th of March as may be practicable, and in bubIi manner as to enable yon both to leave Louisiana, should yon deem i , necessary. "Very truly yours, " " Joan Sheehaj. Every word of this letter bears internal evidence of being written by a man of affairs, and those who are familiar with the style of John Sherman can hardly mistake its paternity. The style is the man In miniature. With this guarantee in. their hand?, Weber and Anderson were secure cf reward, whenever the demand should be made, after Hayes was installed in office. Anderson knew its full value well, and in his joyful moments he exhibited it to several friends. Weber, more prudent, got possession of the letter, and had it in his inner pocket when killed, several months later. Meantime the existence of the guarantee became icnown to many leading Republicans. Anderson went to Washington at the inauguration to look after his own interests and those of his friends, of whom the male Jenks was one of the most intimate. The failure to get either of two first-class Conbulaies, and the offer of Funchal, and a Custom House Inspectorship, are well known, through the Stanley Matthews correspondence. In the t "'ix.-ir- cf Jc-, 1S77, wearied with xjz -ae-- IA imp'- ri arityfor high office, ."1 in :; at thj treatment he had receive d,""' Anderson telegraphed Matthews as follows : K.tn.

And it was true, for she had gone with her husband to see Mrs. Weber at ! Donald so Seville for that object eichtsively last July. Therefore she knew all about it. But this is net nil the evidence of ber knowledge. She artfully appealed to the eyrapathy and gratitude of Mrs, Weber, in a letter, as follows : CoRNKa l'Kt.i.K Caster and Cokpta'scr 'rs..

The female Jenks evidently wants one essential .quality for a first-class alibi witness. There ia still "further evidence frocr hex own hand. Anderson and Kellogg were not friendly. Kellogg was . trying to ge.fe seated in the Senate, and he knew the female Jenks held -the secrets of the circle in which Anders5n moved. So he opened a correspondence with that enterprising woman, end she answered promptly in these vords : New Orleans, Nov. 11, 1877.
